The "late June" answer given it is now June 17 is strangely non-specific. Many of us within driving distance would like to attend this event, but we need a decent lead time to plan. How about it Slate?

I well remember that. Let's not forget the "Saturn Homecoming" events at the factory — a gear head version of Woodstock!

Yes, I agree. Good ideas.

Hmm. Here it is June 13 and still no specific location for the announced June 21st Detroit event. Weird.

Still waiting for the official word of where June 23 in Detroit will be held

Ha ha. So I was at the wrong end of the tent!

Thanks, Ben. Followed your directions, but there is no slot for ADDRESS. I only see LOCATION. Is that where my address is supposed to go?

I've been through all the menu options having to do with my profile and haven't found where to add my shipping address. Where do I find that particular option?

It will be interesting to see how basic folks will be willing to go. Believe it or not, I'd like to opt out of having air conditioning (remember the days when A/C was an extra cost option?). But I understand there might only be 3 or 4 of us willing to go full-on Zen/Amish like that!

Very useful and insightful post! I strongly support your idea about the posting of a winter vs. summer range or efficiency number. Come to think of it, that notion applies equally well to ICE vehicles. In regards to the original post in this thread, I can contribute my 2018 BMW i3 efficiency...

Happy to hear V2L feature is on the planned build sheet. That is definitely a value-added in my book!

Lithium Iron Phosphate cells weigh more for a given output than NMC cells. Chevy Bolt 2026 is going to LiFePo, but most other EV's have opted for the weight savings of NMC. I agree that there are many reasons to stay away from NMC.

Thumbs up on your opinion;))

I've been trying to find data on the rolling resistance of these standard 17" tires. Did you come across that info anywhere?

I plan to attend the June event in Detroit MI. Will report back impressions.

I agree. A certain amount of skepticism is warranted here. My optimism outweighs my pessimism so they have my $50 vote. Time will tell.
